Field Notes
Notes from two businesses: a tree company in New Jersey and apartments in Alabama. Properties I’ve toured, hires that went sideways, mistakes that cost real money, and what each one keeps teaching me about the other. For anyone curious about real estate, or just about running something.

We bought the most expensive machine Alpine has ever owned before we knew what it had to earn per day. What that number turned out to be, and the apartment version of the same mistake.
